3. A message from CUSU regarding unpaid non-academic student debt

Yesterday the OFT ruled that students will no longer be prevented from graduating if they have unpaid non-academic student debt, including payments like Kitchen Fixed Charges, library fines and rent. You can read more about this ruling here: http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/consumer-enforcement/OFT1522.pdf

CUSU together with Junior and Middle Combination Rooms across Cambridge welcomes the OFT’s ruling. We look forward to seeing how the Collegiate University will review its terms and conditions in light of this decision.
